In front of hundreds of his soldiers, Shinhiko Kōzuki directly gave his cherished saber to Madara Uchiha, which was undoubtedly an affirmation of Madara Uchiha's status.
From now on, whenever Madara Uchiha appears in front of these Samurais, he will be as if Shinhiko is here in person.
"Congratulations, Itachi-sama!"
Madara Uchiha reached out and took the long knife from Shinhiko Kōzuki. As he took it, shouts of mountains and tsunamis came from all directions.
Why massacre the troops, just make their masters surrender.
Madara Uchiha looked at the domineering Shinhiko Kōzuki standing on the sedan chair and smiled.
A little guy like Shinhiko Kōzuki deserves to be his subordinate.
On the sedan chair, Shinhiko Kōzuki looked at Madara Uchiha with great admiration.
It's a pity, Shinhiko Kōzuki originally wanted to accept Madara Uchiha as his adopted son, but based on what he learned about Madara Uchiha along the way, if he opened his mouth, this kid would definitely reject him. In this case, he would accept Madara Uchiha as his confidant.
Today Madara Uchiha took his own sword, so no matter where he goes, he will be classified as his direct descendant, and Uchiha Clan will also be branded as the Kozuki family.
Madara Uchiha, Shinhiko Kōzuki, one old and one young, each looking at each other with ulterior motives.
Four old people, Konoha, Hokage Office, Shimura Danzō, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu, who together are over three hundred years old, are gathering together to look at the same battle report.
This is a message from Kazuhiko Sarutobi from afar.
In this battle report, except for Sōsuke Aburame's part being whitewashed, Kazuhiko Sarutobi recorded everything they encountered on this mission in detail. Although the mission rating was A-Rank, after all, this was a mission to protect Shinhiko Kōzuki, and the top brass of Konoha took it very seriously.
"Well done, I have nothing to say."
After reading the battle report, Shimura Danzō was the first to express his opinion. What he meant was that he had trusted Kazuhiko Sarutobi's information and that he would no longer interfere in the matter.
Third Hokage glanced at Danzo. Although Kazuhiko Sarutobi did not say it clearly, Third Hokage also saw that the unidentified three Ninja were Root's people had long expected that Danzo would take action against Shinhiko Kōzuki, but Danzo's direct sending of people was beyond Third Hokage's expectations.
"Kazuhiko This kid has been careful and careful since he was a child. It is indeed the right decision to send him to guard Shinhiko. This Hyuga Clan kid deserves to be commended for being able to break through Iwagakure's interception. Uchiha Itachi, he should be the child of the Uchiha Clan patriarch, I have heard of his reputation as a genius, Lord Hokage, Itachi has been appreciated by Lord Shinhiko, Uchiha Clan is another unstable factor, what should we do?"
Mitokado Homura is not a stupid person. Sōsuke Aburame is dead, and Kazuhiko Sarutobi simply said he was dead without much explanation, so there is something fishy in it. Combined with Sosuke's background, and Danzo's attack and submission, it is self-evident what Sosuke did.
Aburame Clan has always been loyal to Konoha. Sosuke's death was also for Root, so there is nothing to pursue. If everyone dies, give him the status of a martyr to protect him. After looking at the honor of the Aburame Clan, he also praised Kazuhiko and Hayato Mitokado Homura. But when it came to Madara Uchiha, his tone changed.
Obviously in Kazuhiko Sarutobi's battle report, Madara Uchiha is the most outstanding and the one who contributed the most, but Mitokado Homura directly ignored Madara Uchiha's contribution and instead pointed directly at Madara Uchiha's origins and hidden dangers, and his words were full of defense against Madara Uchiha.
"Yes, if Uchiha Clan gets the support of Lord Shinhiko Kōzuki, they will definitely become more unscrupulous. How should we suppress them?"
On the other hand, Utatane Koharu also expressed his worries. To a certain extent, these two Senior Advisor cannot be entirely blamed for this.
After all, most of the information the two of them had about the Uchiha Clan was provided by Danzo. What kind of ivory could Danzo's dog spit out?
If Third Hokage had not secretly established a relationship with Uchiha Fugaku, perhaps his first reaction today after discovering that Uchiha Clan was appreciated by the big Nobles would have been worry.
"Uchiha Clan, did you do anything that crossed the line? Why do I feel that Uchiha Clan has become more trustworthy recently?"
Third Hokage smoked his pipe, and as the smoke filled the air, he raised questions about several colleagues he had worked with all his life.
Seeing Third Hokage suddenly maintaining Uchiha Clan, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were also stunned.
Uchiha Clan people are arrogant and arrogant. They control Police Force and supervise the whole village. They are Uchiha Clan proud and look down on people from other families. But have these Uchiha Clan people really done anything evil that deserves to be punished?
The two consultants looked at each other, as if nothing like this had ever happened.
"According to reliable information, the number of Hardliners from the Uchiha Clan has skyrocketed in recent years. They already account for half of the Uchiha Clan young adults in the clan. Fugaku, the clan leader of the Uchiha Clan, also has a lot of complaints about the village., these Uchiha Clan people complain every day that the village treats them unfairly, and may start a civil war at any time. Isn't Nine-Tails' Attack enough to prove their wolf ambition? Now Konoha can no longer bear the second Nine-Tails' Attack."
Just when the two consultants were speechless by Third Hokage's questions, Shimura Danzō spoke.
In his mouth, it seemed that Uchiha Clan was extremely dangerous and could launch a rebellion at any time. After he spoke, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu followed Danzo and looked at Third Hokage.
"Nine-Tails' Attack There is no evidence to prove that Uchiha Clan is responsible. If Fugaku really created Nine-Tails' Attack, with Root's intelligence capabilities, he How come no evidence can be found when our daily words and deeds are recorded? Danzo, is this just speculation on your part or is Root of no use? If Root is so useless, then you can delegate your power and go into seclusion."
Faced with Shimura Danzō's speculation about the Uchiha Clan, Third Hokage also took the opportunity to hit Danzo. After he said this, Danzo, who originally wanted to argue, also fell silent.
After working together for so many years, this is the first time that Third Hokage has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Root, and his reasons are so solid. If Danzo continues to wonder whether it was Uchiha Clan who initiated Nine-Tails' Attack, he will be in direct confrontation with Hokage.
Although Danzo is the master of Root, when it comes to real big events, he can only be Third Hokage's follower.
"Recently, I have been thinking whether our handling of the aftermath of Nine-Tails' Attack has gone off the rails from the beginning."
After confirming that Shimura Danzō was suppressed by his own words, Third Hokage slowly stood up. His eyes looked directly at Danzo's exposed eyes, as if he wanted to see through his old friend.
